You'd wonder why they bothered to fit the system in the first place if it
is that easy to remove. Nicking the bike would just involve lobbing it into
the back of a soundproofed van (stolen refrigerated lorry) and taking the
bike to a lock-up to fit the replacement connector (this probably has a
shunt or resistor to connect a couple of pins so that the ECU gets the
right message).

It really is as simple as that. The plug is wired to bypass the alarm
box. The dealer will need the VIN from the bike and probably the
registration document as well to verify ownership. The Triumph factory
have a database of the alarm plug wiring configuration for each bike
made because they didn't use the same one on all Daytona 955i's for
obvious reasons.

Well, quite.

Probably. I remember reading the manual, and discovering that all you
had to do was plug in the Triumph alarm (a Datatool, like you say) via
the connector in the seat hump cubbyhole, after first removing (and
safely storing) the blanking plug.

And I had a shufti, and there it was.

If I were doing it these days, I'd make sure that the blanking plug was
coded to the ECU, like an ignition key is: that would make the thieves'
life a bit harder. Perhaps it already is: I dunno.

I need to pull out the alarm from my Tiger, it's ****ed.

You can disarm it only after setting the alarm off. I think it's on
its way out .. :/

Same procedure for removing the alarm - you'll need the correct plug to
refit in the socket.
